All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Envelope

public class GeneralEnvelope
extends AbstractEnvelope
implements Cloneable, Serializable

A minimum bounding box or rectangle. Regardless of dimension, an Envelope can be represented without ambiguity as two direct positions (coordinate points). To encode an Envelope, it is sufficient to encode these two points.

Note: Envelope uses an arbitrary Coordinate Reference System, which doesn't need to be geographic. This is different than the GeographicBoundingBox class provided in the metadata package, which can be used as a kind of envelope restricted to a Geographic CRS having Greenwich prime meridian.

This particular implementation of Envelope is said "General" because it uses coordinates of an arbitrary dimension. This is in contrast with Envelope2D, which can use only two-dimensional coordinates.

A GeneralEnvelope can be created in various ways:

• From a given number of dimension, with all ordinates initialized to 0.
• From two coordinate points.
• From a an other envelope (copy constructor).
• From a geographic bounding box or a Java2D rectangle.
• From a grid envelope together with a Grid to CRS transform.
• From a string representing a BBOX in Well Known Text format.

GeneralEnvelope

public GeneralEnvelope(CoordinateReferenceSystem crs)

Constructs an empty envelope with the specified coordinate reference system. All ordinates are initialized to 0.

Parameters:

crs - The coordinate reference system.

Since:

2.2

GeneralEnvelope

public GeneralEnvelope(Envelope envelope)

Constructs a new envelope with the same data than the specified envelope.

Parameters:

envelope - The envelope to copy.

GeneralEnvelope

public GeneralEnvelope(GeographicBoundingBox box)

Constructs a new envelope with the same data than the specified geographic bounding box. The coordinate reference system is set to WGS84.

Parameters:

GeneralEnvelope

public GeneralEnvelope(Rectangle2D rect)

Constructs two-dimensional envelope defined by a Rectangle2D. The coordinate reference system is initially undefined.

Parameters:

GeneralEnvelope

public GeneralEnvelope(String wkt)
                throws NumberFormatException,
                       IllegalArgumentException

Constructs a new envelope initialized to the values parsed from the given string in Well Known Text (WKT) format. The given string is typically a BOX element like below:

BOX(-180 -90, 180 90)

However this constructor is lenient to other geometry types like POLYGON. Actually this constructor ignores the geometry type and just applies the following simple rules:

• Character sequences complying to the rules of Java identifiers are skipped.
• Coordinates are separated by a coma (,) character.
• The ordinates in a coordinate are separated by a space.
• Ordinate numbers are assumed formatted in US locale.
• The coordinate having the highest dimension determines the dimension of this envelope.

This constructor does not check the consistency of the provided WKT. For example it doesn't check that every points in a LINESTRING have the same dimension. However this constructor ensures that the parenthesis are balanced, in order to catch some malformed WKT.

The following examples can be parsed by this constructor in addition of the standard BOX element. This constructor creates the bounding box of those geometries:

• POINT(6 10)
• MULTIPOLYGON(((1 1, 5 1, 1 5, 1 1),(2 2, 3 2, 3 3, 2 2)))
• GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(4 6),LINESTRING(3 8,7 10))

Parameters:

wkt - The BOX, POLYGON or other kind of element to parse.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - If a number can not be parsed.

IllegalArgumentException - If the parenthesis are not balanced.

Method Detail

castOrCopy

public static GeneralEnvelope castOrCopy(Envelope envelope)

Returns the given envelope as a GeneralEnvelope instance. If the given envelope is already an instance of GeneralEnvelope, then it is returned unchanged. Otherwise the coordinate values and the CRS of the given envelope are copied in a new GeneralEnvelope.

Parameters:

Returns:

The values of the given envelope as a GeneralEnvelope instance.

getDimension

public final int getDimension()

Returns the number of dimensions.

Specified by:

getDimension in interface Envelope

getCoordinateReferenceSystem

public final CoordinateReferenceSystem getCoordinateReferenceSystem()

Returns the coordinate reference system in which the coordinates are given.

Specified by:

getCoordinateReferenceSystem in interface Envelope

Returns:

The coordinate reference system, or null.

setCoordinateReferenceSystem

public void setCoordinateReferenceSystem(CoordinateReferenceSystem crs)
                                  throws MismatchedDimensionException

Sets the coordinate reference system in which the coordinate are given. This method does not reproject the envelope, and do not check if the envelope is contained in the new domain of validity. The later can be enforced by a call to reduceToDomain(boolean).

If the envelope coordinates need to be transformed to the new CRS, consider using Envelopes.transform(Envelope, CoordinateReferenceSystem) instead.

Parameters:

crs - The new coordinate reference system, or null.

Throws:

MismatchedDimensionException - if the specified CRS doesn't have the expected number of dimensions.

reduceToDomain

public boolean reduceToDomain(boolean useDomainOfCRS)

Restricts this envelope to the CS or CRS domain of validity. This method performs two steps:

1. Ensure that the envelope is contained in the coordinate system domain. If some ordinates are out of range, then there is a choice depending on the range meaning:

   • If EXACT (typically latitudes ordinates), values greater than the maximum value are replaced by the maximum, and values smaller than the minimum value are replaced by the minimum.
   • If WRAPAROUND (typically longitudes ordinates), a multiple of the range (e.g. 360° for longitudes) is added or subtracted. If a value stay out of range after this correction, then the ordinates are set to the full [minimum … maximum] range. See the example below.

2. If crsDomain is true, then the envelope from the previous step is intersected with the CRS domain of validity, if any.

Example: A longitude range of [185° … 190°] is equivalent to [-175° … -170°]. But [175° … 185°] would be equivalent to [175° … -175°], which is likely to mislead Envelope users since the lower bounds is numerically greater than the upper bounds. Reordering as [-175° … 175°] would interchange the meaning of what is "inside" and "outside" the envelope. So this implementation conservatively expands the range to [-180° … 180°] in order to ensure that the validated envelope fully contains the original envelope.

Parameters:

useDomainOfCRS - true if the envelope should be restricted to the CRS domain of validity in addition to the CS domain.

Returns:

true if this envelope has been modified, or false if no change was done.

roundIfAlmostInteger

public void roundIfAlmostInteger(double factor,
                                 int maxULP)

Fixes rounding errors up to a given tolerance level. For each value ordinates[i] at dimension i, this method multiplies the ordinate value by the given factor, then round the result only if the product is close to an integer value. The threshold is defined by the maxULP argument in ULP units (Unit in the Last Place). If and only if the product has been rounded, it is divided by the factor and stored in this envelope in place of the original ordinate.

The code below illustrates the work done on every ordinate values, omitting (for simplicity) the fact that ordinate[i] is left unchanged if XMath.roundIfAlmostInteger didn't rounded the product.

ordinates[i] = XMath.roundIfAlmostInteger(ordinates[i]*factor, maxULP) / factor;

This method is useful after envelope calculations subject to rounding errors, like the #GeneralEnvelope(GridEnvelope, PixelInCell, MathTransform, CoordinateReferenceSystem) constructor.

Parameters:

factor - The factor by which to multiply ordinates before rounding and divide after rounding. A recommended value is 360.

maxULP - The maximal change allowed in ULPs (Unit in the Last Place).

public void setToNull()

Sets all ordinate values to NaN. The coordinate reference system (if any) stay unchanged.

Since:

2.2

isNull

public boolean isNull()

• If isEmpty() == false, then isNull() == false
• The converse of the above-cited rules are not always true.

Returns:

true if this envelope has NaN values.

Since:

Returns:

true if this envelope is empty.

add
